Place and Date of Judgment: | Vancouver, B.C. October 8, 2015 |
[1]
The plaintiffs action is for damages for injuries she allegedly
sustained as a result of a slip and fall at a curling rink in Squamish, British
Columbia on February 12, 2015. The plaintiff now applies for an order adding
Howe Sound Curling Club (the curling club) as a defendant on the basis that
the defendant, Squamish Valley Golf Club, leases the curling facilities to the
curling club.
[2]
It appears that that the plaintiff served the notice of application and supporting
affidavit (the application materials) on the existing defendants, but the
plaintiff did not serve the application materials on the curling club.
[3]
For the same reasons given in West Bros. Frame and Chair Ltd. v.
Yazbek, 2015 BCSC 1823, I find that Rule 8-1(7) requires the plaintiff to
serve the application materials on the curling club because the curling club is
a person who may be affected by the order sought. Therefore, the application
for an order adding the curling club as a defendant is adjourned generally
pending proper service.
